New manager Ange Postocoglu took the reigns for his first competitive game at Celtic Park tonight and with a depleted squad, it’s safe to say Celtic as an attacking force has really impressed.
Ryan Christie had two chances in quick succession to give the Bhoys the lead, one shot coming off the post only for new Bhoy LIEL ABADA to get his first Celtic goal a short time after.

It’s plain to see some of the new bosses’ ideas already coming to fruition with the speed of the Celtic attacks.
The manager had some serious selection problems ahead of this crucial tie and for the 3rd season in a row Celtic fans have to watch Nir Bitton line out as a center-back.
That problem has escalated now with Bitton getting sent off towards the end of the first half and Ange having to change what looked like a good attacking line up. Welcome to Celtic.
Bitton has once again proved that he is a total liability. Our new manager didn’t have much choice in playing him so this one is totally on Bitton and has he now given leverage to Rubin Kazan as we now desperately need another defender by next week. In relation to the sub, I would have taken Christie off the sooner he’s gone the better
